Are Miniature Bull Terriers rough dogs to be with?

Big Dog | January 25th, 2010

If you are looking for a dog that can take a good romp as well as dish it out, then the Miniature Bull Terrier is the right breed for you! With its ancestors been bred as fighting dogs, you can see that toughness and roughness are built into this little dog. Just by looking at the appearance, one can see from its square and sturdy structure that they possess a good degree of strength.

They are lively and full of energy and when engaging in play, they may have a tendency to jump, bump and maybe knock his playmates over. But due to its aggressiveness, it is best that it be the sole dog in the home. Even when training, these dogs seem like soldiers since they respond very well to firm training. But as one owns a Miniature Bull Terrier, it is best to observe what can irritate him to become violent such as teasing. As they say, it’s all fun, until someone gets hurt.

Big Dog | December 21st, 2009

mini bull terrierHaving a Miniature Bull Terrier is like having a clown and a small bodyguard at the same time. They enjoy making people laugh with their antics and tirelessness in playing. If one is an active person with a family, this canine is recommended. These dogs have small, sturdy and muscular build with deep chests and long, oval-shaped heads with dark, small, sunken eyes that are narrowly set and thin erect ears.

Is a Miniature Bullterrier right for me?

Ann | November 9th, 2009

Many people are astounded by the strength and power that this breed has. But admiring one is quite different from being responsible for one.

Miniature Bullterrier

Before purchasing this dog, there are some questions one should answer:

  • Can one deal with rowdiness and rough play? These dogs are of high energy and are pretty strong.
  • Can one spend enough time with the dog? Destruction of furniture may occur if left alone for some time as well as digging holes in the yard.
  • Can socialization training be given and constantly followed? These dogs tend to be aggressive with people and even other animals if not taught to be around them for some time while they are young.
  • Can one have the patience to train them? Due to their independent minds, they are no pushovers and will do what they want to do unless disciplined.
  • Can one be caring and passionate regarding their health? This breed has a history of kidney disease and deafness.

If one can provide this and more, then a Bullterrier may be the breed for you.

Is a Miniature Bull Terrier right for me?

Ann | October 26th, 2009

Miniature Bull Terriers are a popular breed and many people seem to be jumping at the chance to buy one. But there are some things a prospective buyer should consider. First look at the price: these dogs definitely aren’t a dime a dozen. They come with a hefty price tag of $2,500 considering that they are only 150 born annually in the US.

They have small litters and irregular heat cycles which may be a challenge if breeding is the plan. But for the benefit of the dog, there are health concerns: they do not have “typical” hearts and need an echocardiogram at least once a year. PLL or Primary Lens Luxation will need surgery to save their sight. Laryngeal Paralysis can cause them to suffocate and is difficult to diagnose and detect. Deafness is also something common that can affect this breed.  These concerns must be seriously thought through before committing to getting a Miniature Bull Terrier.

Super dogs – How Canines Can Sense Earthquakes

Big Dog | June 3rd, 2009

Dogs may be able to sense natural disasters – in particular, earthquakes.

The Greek historian Thucydides was probably the first to notice this ability.
He described how, days before a cataclysmic earthquake flattened the city of Helice, dogs abandoned the place in their droves. Thucydides was convinced the dogs knew what was coming and had run for their lives.

This has been borne out by scientific studies. One American study found that 17 out of 50 homes near the scene of a Californian quake in 1977 reported odd behaviour in their animals. Evidence ranged from a dog pacing around and fidgeting during its normal nap time to a normally placid dog whining excitedly. Studies in the Mojave desert in the US also found that dogs barked at small aftershocks unnoticed by humans but picked up by seismometers.

The most convincing recent evidence of this came before the Asian Tsunami struck on December 26th, 2004. In the hours before the tsunami many dogs refused to go for their daily walks near the sea. Many dogs were also seen running for higher ground minutes before the lethal tidal wave struck land killing thousands of people, who – unlike their pets – had been oblivious to the threat they faced.
